The UK side of the Thai-UK Collaborative Research Network (CRN) is a group of 11 research led universities selected on the basis of their international reputation for world class research. These universities have come together with the aim of supporting the development of Thailand's research capability through a programme of professional development and research collaboration, which has been strengthened by the provision of scholarships by the Ministry of University Affairs.
